Randy Wakeman Outdoors: Savage 220 Slug Gun & Remington AccuTip Ammo

Randy, I've had a 220 for a couple years now, and have shot nothing but 2 3/4 accutips. Its super accurate, but mine kicks like a mule. Is there something else you might recommend that I try?

Hey Randy, It'd be interesting to see the results of Tarhunts "shrifle" ammo out of that 220. If they made a 12 guage round id be tryin em myself.

I know this is an old video but I'm shooting a 212 and I have better accuracy then this with Win. Dual Bond 3" @ 150 yds. I usually get around 1.5"-1.75" groups @ 150 yds. I never understood why Rem. Accu tips were the go-to with these guns. Win. Dual Bond/Win. Partition Golds have shot EXCELLENT and Rem. Copper solids have also done VERY well. Just take it into consideration that even though its a savage 220 or 212, it may like a different ammo than your buddies gun.

I have this same gun and ammo and my gun will do 1.25 inch 3 shot groups.  its pretty impressive.  BUT, my gun is NOT a soft shooting gun!  I have a Mossberg 835 that I turkey hunt with 3.5 inch mags and my 220 kicks harder then it!

Great slug video's , are you still using the Savage 220 ? Would like to see you increase the distance,
sure you can give us one more. Thanks,,,,,,, Fan

Glad to see all your shells went off. Bought a box to see how they would work in my gun.4 out of 5 did not fire.

Good video. The fireball at the 2:40 mark was cool. Would love to buy this slug gun, but man it ain't cheap.

Usaully the slower load out preforms the faster load I agree with your bullet jump theroy in a perfect world we cud cut the fps back on the 3inch an Wala..

Bought this gun after watching your video. Nice gun, no BS, cant wait to try when it warms up here a bit.

By the way, I live near you. Don't see many deers in our Illinois public
land any more.

I went on tree for 5 days. Only saw two deer once on the opening day.
And too bad I didn't have the savage 220 yet that day.

Randy, love your video and review. I bought the same gun after losing my faith in my Mossoberg 500. BTW, with all due respect, Just 6 shot to determine which ammo is better sounds like not very scientific. 

I've used the accutip on deer.  It is devestating. Use them with confidence.

Randy, have you ever tried the Hornady SST slugs in that gun? Savage guarantees 2" groups at 200yds. with that combination. Might be worth a look.

Watch the whole video and you'll see he answers your question.

Start close. What I like to do is start at like 25 yards and get it shooting about a inch high of center bullseye. Then I move out and check my 50. Then from there I move out to 100 yards. And that is with a Winchester 1300 12 gauge pump.

The Remington Copper Solids are a great shooting slug. I love them.

Nice gun you have there, a bolt action shotgun never seen one before in actual. Anyway I noticed on the first shot when you cycled the gun the first round didn't eject well. Is the slug like that? or was just because you had a light pull? I'm new to the shooting hobby sorry if these questions may seem to… amateur. I'm looking for an ammo for my shotgun that's not to hard on recoil but is on the target.

How far can it go before it starts to drop?

Great video. I love the 12 gauge 2 -3/4" Accutips!

Just shoot at 25 yards with a BIG piece of paper. That's sufficient to get your coarse adjustments done quickly.

For those of us with pump-action slug guns with scopes, what is the best method to sight in a slug gun? With pump action I dont know of a way to bore sight the gun. Message me with methods/techniques please

if you havent yet try out hornady sst slugs i love them

how does the accutip do for deer

3-9 x 40 Bushnell Elite 3200, Warne Maxima medium rings, Warne steel bases. If you use a EGW or Warne Picatinny rail, you can use Warne Maxima "low Rings."

The Federal Barnes has been discontinued: Federal has a new load, not yet off the machines, For the moment, the Remingtons are the best "in-production" choice.
